Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Midtown Phillips
What pushes it up most is local political climate at 9/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Against Hennepin County at 43.1%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. At $980 a month, rents run 29% under what the rest of Minneapolis commands.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Adults with no health insurance runs 22.9% against 11.3% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Court records carry 219 eviction filings across 5 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2009, when 9.1% of renter households were served.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
